Glad to hear the bleeding has settled but surprised your GP didn't send you for u/s today. Pitty your DP isn't a bit more supportive, lucky your mum is there for you.
Nah, the staff at the public hospital AND my GP were completely *against* me 'wasting resources' by having another u/s when I was spotting/bleeding during pregnancy. Even when I had a miscarriage the doctor at the hospital refused to give me an u/s. 'If the bleeding's that bad, I'd say it's a done deal, no point tying up the u/s tech when I can just get you back tomorrow for a blood test to confirm'...
I'm always flabbergasted at the amount of u/s's YOU girls seem to get during your pg's lol... I seriously think I would have had to have been in a pile-up in a freeway to get a check-up u/s from any doctor I saw during either of my pregnancies - I had to even fight to get dating scans at the beginning of my pg's (I just wanted to see my little beans growing, I didn't actually care about the dates lol)
Have been thinking of you, FirstTime... hope you're feeling better and that your mind is more at ease. Rest up, give DP a smack round the back of the head and try not to stress too much! Glad all appears to be well.
Yeah im with Glamourcide, i dont think he would have made me get one unless he thought it was an emergency. Maybe if i had of went to the hospital but they also base on how urgent it is.
I had bleeding twice in this pregnancy, early on. I have had a miscarriage in the past so the first sign of blood I panicked and we went in to see them at the Royal Womens Hospital in the city. They didn't give me an ultrasound (it was a sunday night) but told me to ring back on TUESDAY to book in for one wtf? I was really peed off with this. I ended up having to go to a doctor to get a referral for an u/s 3 suburbs away (as they couldn't squeeze me in at my docs) which ended up costing me $100, was not impresssed!!
Other than that time, and a couple of weeks later no more bleeds and nothing is wrong with bubba
I'm sorry you have to wait so long to have an ultrasound, I hope time goes very quickly for you! *hugggies*
Sounds like the bleeding has stopped and all is fine. I too am surprised that you didn't get sent for an U/S or at the very least some bloodwork to make sure all was ok. Take it easy for a few days and try not to worry.
